Words that motivate you...
Obviously there's Wind in my face but I also like the following.
"You don't need a power meter to know that you're shit on the bike"
"Just finishing is just that, just finishing - big deal'"
"Ironman is the new Race4Life" RW Forum
and many, many more...
I tend to opt for news stories to inspire me these days. The more relevant, topical and significant the better of course.As you were.
Here's mine:
After the Transalpine run I was in poor condition,I very nearly needed a morticianBut now I'm back in almost tip-top condition
Hope you like it. It nearly rhymes and scans and everything.
<sorry>Jj</sorry>
Just reading the Fink thread....reminded me of the following sage words
"No point worrying about the 2nd half of the marathon in a Ironman until you're sure you'll reach it "
Haiku:
Ironman fighters
race long into the night-time
talk mostly bollocks
Nothing to do with tri really but I like, in a take the piss kind of way -
you rest, you rust
some people have a wish bone where the backbone should be
both apply to me!
or....
"winner - winner - chicken dinner"
I'll take that "winner - winner - chicken dinner" for the next time I'm struggling.
I sing the Graham and Brown SuperFresco wallpaper ad tune of "What goes up must come down." I picture the bloke wallpapering and think that would be a worse activity to be involved in which inspires me to keep pedalling.
That's a personal fav advert super-tune!
Along with red car and the blue car...
